ROYAL ARIA GOES GOSPEL
Although the Royal Aria Stadium is fast becoming one of the go-to locations for big music festivals, on Saturday 25 March the Tlokweng venue will host something a little different.
The football ground-cum-popular entertainment spot goes Gospel, as Reflector Entertainment brings South African stars, Dr Winnie Mashaba and Solly Moholo under one roof.
Best known for his ‘Ke Lathile Botsotsi’ chart-topper, Moholo was a firm favourite in the late 90s – it will be interesting to see if the golden oldie still has it!
Mashaba, meanwhile, boasts a big following throughout Africa and is famed for her powerful live performances.
Dubbed, ‘The Cross Power Worship and Prayer’ festival, the line-up includes a whole team of talented names, including Keke Phoofolo (of ‘Che Che Che’ fame), Kgotso Ounah, Wacha Mkhukhu Wachumlilo, Maatla Gospel Group, Lejwe La Motheo and Ditsala Moreneng Gospel Choir BW amongst others.
Tickets are going for P200 and gates open at 10am until late.
MA 14 END 11-YEAR WAIT
Light House Ministries in Metsimotlhabe is set for a Saturday night of Clap and Tap this week as, 11 years after their last LP, St John Metsimotlhabe launch album number three, ‘O Re Babaletse’.
Some of the standout songs on the 11-track offering that caught BW’s attention include: ‘Se lebale maikano’, ‘O re file maatla’ and ‘Lekunutu le Morena’.
Entrance is ‘free’, although to get in fans will have to purchase the album, which comes with a cover cost of P100.
Known as ‘Ma 14’, the group, whose previous albums, ‘Tribute’ and ‘Barorisi’ were released in 2009 and 2012, will be joined on stage by another gospel artist, Gaolathe of ‘Melao e Lesome’ hit.
DJ DAGIZUS SPREADS THE LOVE
American-based music man, DJ Dagizus has released yet another banger, embracing the Valentine’s spirit with ‘Loving Kuhle’, Zulu for loving good.
The upbeat, high-tempo Amapiano jam features local singers Janezelle and Hush and was produced by Bomberbeatz.
In keeping with the song’s feel-good, love-fuelled theme, the song will officially be released on 14 February and will be available for free throughout the month as Daggie, as the Texas resident is also known, shows his love for his fans.
From March onwards, the single will be on sale on various music social media platforms.
